I took a trip to West Virginia and tested out how well the GPS and internet worked. You can see part of the trip in the video.

iPad AT&T Data Plan Speed

AT&T has different type’s of internet coverage provided through their data plan. I tested three of them on this trip. The New York Times site took about 35 second’s to load, on their worst coverage type called Partner Edge. Their highest signal strength called 3G, took about 18 second’s to load the same web page.

The iPad GPS

The good new’s is that the GPS didn’t lose it’s signal on the whole trip. It provides all of the different view option’s that Google provides. It is Google Map’s in essence.

The bad news is that there is no voice guided direction. So if you want to know where to turn you have to watch the screen. This doesn’t make for a safe driving experience. It’s a deal breaker for me.

That’s All Folk’s

Just thought I’d have a bit of fun with this post. If you want more fun post’s like this comment below.
